ABC23H8 - Summer Bonnet
Added to Favorite

Photo Details
Poster: Jo Ann F.

 The H challenge for this week was hat pin. I watercolored this lovely summer bonnet, and included a pin with a pearl on its head. I remember the days of using hat pins, especially with the pillbox styles a la Jackie Kennedy. When I was in high school, our uniform was a cadet blue tailored suit with an accompanying hat, and white gloves The hat came with two giant hat pins to hold it in place on the New York City subway! We got a new principal when I was a senior, and we didn't have to wear the hats anymore, but we were still supposed to wear the gloves.

Wow, what kind of school was that?? Fancy! Sounds like a flight attendant uniform. Pretty bonnet.

What a lovely bonnet and so beautifully colored. As for your high school uniform, wow, how lovely your student body must have looked. Can you imagine that sort of uniform on today's kids?

The current uniform is a navy blazer with a black watch plaid skirt for "formal" occasions, but the girls are allowed to wear sweatshirts with the school emblem for normal schooldays, much to the chagrin of us alumnae!

Pretty hat. I would not have liked wearing a hat to school. I don't like wearing hats at all.
